After two and a half months of tension on the Doklam border, India and
China end their border standoff on Monday. As both sides mutually decide
to disengage, the development is a clear vindication of Prime Minister
Modi’s diplomacy. And a huge diplomatic win for the Modi government as
it ignored repeated baiting and aggressive Chinese rhetoric to resolve
the impasse through diplomatic channels.
The reduced tensions also paves the way for PM Modi to attend the ninth
BRICS summit on 3rd September which is also expected to see presence of
several non BRICS neighbouring nations.
However, there are still some concerns that we are raising on Spotlight.
While truce was reached by diplomatic talks, the Chinese foreign media
say it is only Indian troops that have withdrawn. Also there is no
clarity on the status of the road construction by the Chinese on
Bhutanese territory that started the entire skirmish on June 16.
